Nicki Minaj says Beyonce is her only match

Singer Nicki Minaj graced the cover of Paper magazine recently and opened up about many things including a female version of Jay Z and Kanye West’s collaboration Watch The Throne, her fanbase and her next album.

Nicki revealed that she considers only one artist of her caliber, and that is Beyonce. “The only person that I’ve seen a lot of people speak on, when talking about an album of that caliber, is Beyonce, cause we did ***Flawless (remix) and Feeling Myself and we’ve actually performed together,” she said, adding, “I always see a lot of people saying, ‘Oh my gosh, a joint album with you guys would be really dope,’ but, you know, those are the kinds of things that are just wishful thinking from fans... they’re far-fetched because usually artists are in such different places in their personal lives and career lives that it’s hard to make that work.”

Nicki feels her fans support makes her stronger. “I have a loyal fan base who never leaves. And all they do is motivate me and believe in me and fight for me. I feel this year I have been stronger, I have all my super powers back. I’ve never felt this powerful, as a woman, as an emcee — I’ve never felt this invincible,” she said.

Talking about her next album, Nicki said, “I really don’t have much to say about the album other than it’s great and I’m excited about it.”
